Lockdown, Day 87

I started today feeling good - a rarity for me at the current time. Unfortunately this did not last for long as I had a text lecture from my sister. This redusced me to tears and totally shattered to facade I had put in place for today. Apparently I am crap at communicating anything and selfish etc. So having spent the last week trying to build my brain into something which looks at what I can and might be able to do; I've now had SHOULD slammed into my face with some force.
 
To be honest I am fed up with being pressured into doing what someone else feels I should do and when I should do it, nothing is what I feel I can do or when I can do it. All that has happened is |I now feel even more worthless and useless. I now don't want to leave my house or see anyone. I feel completely isolated and that nobody should waste their time or effort on the mess I am. I also know that I should not let this get to me, but she knows how to completely demolish me and can do it effortlessly. I finishe d by saying I was not going to respond further as I would only say something I would regret. I know from experience the she is never wrong so I saw no reason to inflict yet more pain on myself.

Maybe self preservation is kicking in, but I'm now terrified of going to see my Mum as she lives in my sisters back garden. And whatever anyone thinks, my sister controls her and I am not going to be controlled by anyone. I don't need to be lectured on something that wasn't my fault.

My other issue today is that I am hungry- but don't have any desire to eat anything. My joints are all aching, but the morphine is helping to ease that for me. I have a large bottle of oramorph, I hope Andy will keep an eye on me as it would be far to simple to just drink the lot.

Today is a day when I really need a cuddly cat, but neither of mine are interested in applying for that role; Mikey is busy playing loudly upstairs so that is not an option either.

Another photo which makes me feel happy and warm/fuzzy. This was a day when the 3 of us in my little family just had fun together - and watching Mikey go crazy on a bouncy castle was great!!

Lockdown, Day 73

Image
The whole world appears to be going mad - and not over Covid 19 for once, but over the death of a man called George Floyd. Any death is one death to many, but the Americans do seem to be reacting and using this death as an excuse. The riots in various US cities are causing Millions of Dollars in damage (physical and mental) whilst the mobs, which seem to have a high number of white member scream for the blood of a policeman who probably felt he was working within the orders he has been given. Personally I feel they should be yelling at the Orange Idiot they elected 4 years ago. I vaguely remember his administration having a few black faces at the start, but recently it is decidedly WASP and black faces are totally out of sight. He has also threatened to send the army in to deal with the rioters...I am unable to remember any other US President using the military to quash a public uprising in the past. Is it wrong for me to hope that the people of the United States may remember all of th...

How Do I keep Going?

 This week I have totally reached the end of my very frayed tether. I am more exhausted than I have felt for months and I am also feeling isolated, un-needed and unwanted. |Mikey is settled at school, is doing well and making new friends and finding new interests. All I do it listen while he frantically searched for reasons for him feeling f=depressed. When he does come up with something you can guarantee that there is nothing I can do to cure or solve whatever he is worrying about. He also has new people he can talk to so I am certainly no longer needed. I've also had my latest lot of blood tests done. I can't remember my access thing for my results so I can't look at them. My memory is failing even more than usual and I hate this. I'm also in constant pain and I can't do anything that is part of my usual way of living. I really just want all this to end. I have no energy, I can't sleep and even cooking something simple leaves me feeling dead on my feet. All I ...

When will all this end?

The UK appears to be in total meltdown abd I have had enough. Petrol is now been panic bought - at least it makes a change from toilet roll.  Mikey's school start was delayed until 10am this morning as Hythe Road was at a standstill = he missed PE but was playing benchball instead - but the advantage was he didn't have to get changed! By the end of today Stagecoach were not even trying to get near school - thankfully Andy got close and picked him up = the thought of Mikey finding the station and getting on the right bus is terrifying! He could have ended up anywhere!! While the general population are acting line brain dead zombies I am trying not to move too much as the infamous calcified blood clot (which doesn't cause any pain...) is absolutely killing me. I am seriously considering having a hot water bottle tonight in an attempt to ease the pain. I chickened out of my afternoon in the woods as I wasn't sure my back would hold out. I'm really not good with pain.
